Water damage & mold help in Berkeley, CA
Berkeley sits on the east side of San Francisco Bay, home to the University of California. The Hayward Fault runs right under the Berkeley Hills and the campus, and the 1991 Oakland Hills fire burned homes on the city's southern edge. Atmospheric river storms bring days of rain that cause hillside slides, flooded basements and roof leaks in the city's many century-old homes.

Berkeley homes and water damage
Elmwood and North Berkeley have 1900s–1920s brown-shingle and Craftsman homes with raised foundations and aging plumbing. The Hills have homes on steep lots, and Southside has many older apartment buildings and student rentals near campus.
Atmospheric river storms
Days of heavy rain overwhelm old gutters and drains, flooding basements, crawlspaces and the lower levels of hillside homes.
Hillside runoff and slides
Heavy rain sends water and mud toward homes on steep Berkeley Hills lots, especially where retaining walls and drains are old.
Earthquake pipe damage
The Hayward Fault runs through the city, and a quake can crack supply lines, gas lines, water heaters and foundations.
Student rental leaks
Rentals near campus change tenants every year, and slow leaks under sinks and showers can run for months unreported.
Older plumbing
Century-old homes have galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains that leak, clog and corrode with age.
